Library's review
The Abraaj Capital Art Prize is for artists from the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia. Uniquely, it rewards proposals rather than completed artworks. Each year, five selected artists work with one international curator, culminating in an exhibition at Art Dubai and a new publication.
